"Madam, please forgive me, I don't know anything, I'm just a messenger!"

The little beggar covered his head and spoke very fast, for fear that he would be beaten if he spoke too slowly.

He Jiuniang didn’t want to embarrass him, so she stretched out her hand and said, “Where’s the letter?”

The little beggar then realized and hurriedly took out the letter in her arms.

The little beggar was dirty and smelly, but she took good care of the letter. There were only a few black fingerprints on the envelope, but no snot or anything.

He Jiuniang took it and did not read it immediately, but asked: "Who gave you the letter?"

The little beggar shook his head: "I don't know. They are covering their faces!”

They, that means there are several of them.

Then why not give it to her directly, but let the little beggar in the city help transfer it?

There is only one possibility. The city has been very strict recently, and they dare not show up easily for fear of being discovered.

Then, it can only be someone from Dongting, or King Xun.

Now that Dongting regards the third prince very seriously, he does not dare to act so randomly. From this point of view, the only thing left is to find the king.

He Jiuniang was a little disgusted and didn’t want to have anything to do with those people at all.

He stuffed the envelope casually into his sleeve and gave the little beggar a piece of silver to pay for the errands. The little beggar didn’t want it. He said very seriously: "The adult who asked me to deliver the letter just now has already given it to me. The errands have been spent, so I can’t ask for more from Madam.”

As he said that, he mysteriously took out a piece of silver from his pocket, similar to what He Jiuniang had given, to prove that he was not lying.

He Jiuniang was almost amused by his showoff, but she held it back anyway.

Forget it, it’s rare for a little beggar to have such a simple mind. Why are you laughing at him?

After sending the little beggar away, He Jiuniang went out of the alley and went to chase Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Yao. Both of them found that He Jiuniang did not follow them, thinking that she had gone to buy something, so they did not dare to go far. , still waiting for her.

"Where have you been? I didn't even say a word!"

Mrs. Sun saw her coming and slapped her on the arm. It didn't hurt, but it still attracted her attention. Passers-by looked sideways.

What kind of evil mother-in-law is this? She bullies her daughter-in-law like this on the street.

Look at the extraordinarily good-looking little daughter-in-law. Not only is she not afraid, she even hugs the evil mother-in-law’s arm with a grin, looking like she’s trying to please her.

No, why does this little wife look familiar?

Oh, I rememberOh, isn't this the beauty that people can't forget when she appeared in a teahouse on the day when the Jinshi were paraded through the streets?

The reason why everyone remembers it so clearly is, firstly, because the beauty’s appearance is very aggressive, and one glance can leave an impression on her for a long time. Secondly, because someone painted a portrait of the beauty and sold it at a high price. Because the price is too expensive, it can’t be sold and it is hung as a mascot. People have seen it so much that it is difficult to forget it!

I heard that this beauty is also the wife of General Lu. She has the title of Madam Yipingaoming on her head, and her status is unattainable.

But even such a perfect beauty must be careful to deal with an evil mother-in-law?

Everyone felt sorry for the beauty. This was too tragic!

He Jiuniang didn’t know that in the eyes of everyone in the capital, she had gone from a peerless beauty to a peerless wretch. From now on, the teahouse didn’t know how to spread the story about her being tortured by her unreasonable country mother-in-law. Anyway, At this moment, she was holding Sun's arm and talking about a restaurant where she would go to have a meal later so that Sun could have a taste of the food in the capital.

She had nothing to do these days, so she took the opportunity to spend more time with Sun and the others. Not long after, the envoy from the Eastern Court came, and she was busy with other things.

After returning home at night, He Jiuniang took out the letter and read it.

As she expected, it was a letter sent by King Xun. The letter said that King Xun wanted to see her and made an appointment to meet her at Zhao's Tea House in the east of the city at 3:30 tomorrow.

He Jiuniang’s first reaction was not to go. She didn’t want to have anything to do with that old guy, let alone see him.

Furthermore, this old guy dared to see her in the capital city, which shows that he is still very powerful. He was not even afraid of her leading a team to capture him, which showed that the old guy was fully prepared. If you go to see him yourself, you might get into some kind of crisis.

Of course, this is impossible. She will not be in danger if anyone is in danger. If that happens, the old guy will definitely die.

However, at present, that shouldn’t be the case. After all, the old guy obviously wants to please her.

So, should she take this opportunity to see what the old guy wants to do?

She is not a person who likes to be entangled, so she made up her mind after thinking this way. Anyway, no matter what the old thing wants to do, just go and see and see.

Since Lu Baichuan was away, she didn't even plan to tell him. If she did, it would only make him worry, which was not worth it.

In the evening, the children at home came back and talked lively about their experiences of the day. The most exciting thing was Leizi and the others who were studying. Suddenly, so many children of the Lu family entered the Imperial College. , the students were very unhappy and jealous. After all, the number of places in the Imperial College was regulated.It is determined that each courtier's family has only one admission qualification. Why can so many Lu families come?

Although the elders in their family had objected to it to no avail, they still wanted to use their own abilities to humiliate the Lu family.

Since they are all students, it would be better to compare their knowledge. Anyway, the Lu family are poor people from the countryside, and their knowledge will definitely not be as good as theirs. The Lu family will definitely be embarrassed by that time.

However, what they didn’t expect was that none of the Lu family were vegetarians. Not only were they more knowledgeable than them, but even in the end they were not convinced and asked to go to the martial arts training ground, but they were completely abused. .

After a whole day, I was convinced.

When He Jiuniang listened to Lei Zi and the others talking about this, the smile on her lips never stopped. It’s great to be young. Such small things can become so interesting.

Wait, is she admitting that she is old?

No, no, no, she doesn’t admit it!

Next, a few business people will share what they have learned today when they went out to investigate, such as what kind of business is easy to do, what kind of business is difficult to do, etc. For convenience, I also wrote A simple summary.

He Jiuniang commented and praised a group of children, and also briefly pointed out what to do next, without explaining clearly, letting the children understand it on their own, so that it can be more profound.

The Yao family looked at their way of getting along with each other and sighed in their hearts. Sure enough, the prosperity of the Lu family was not unreasonable.

The next day, He Jiuniang went shopping in the store, and then went to a teahouse in the east of the city to keep an appointment. She didn't take anyone with her, and she even ran out secretly because she didn't want her family to worry.

It was actually still early when she arrived, but she didn’t expect that King Xun had been waiting for a long time. Someone took her in as soon as she entered the door.

This tea house is doing very well. There is a storyteller who is talking about the story, and he is talking about the passionate part. The tea guests are listening attentively, but they don’t notice He Jiuniang.

He Jiuniang followed the man to the door of the box. The man did not go in, but just said: "Miss, please go in, the master is inside."
